I have an awful cough. I havn't slept well for the past 3 nights. I've tired Nyquil and another kind of cough medicine but nothing is working well. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm hoping to feel at least a little better by new years tonight.

I have no other symtoms. No fevor. No green flem. I'm thinking it's a sinus drip or something like that.

Grate about 1cm of fresh root ginger into a cup, add a spoon of honey and then pour on boiling water. Allow to cool for a while and then drink. The ginger has a natural anti-bactericide and the honey soothes. Works well for colds as well if you add some lemon juice. Has never failed for me. Over the counter.. Try Cough Nurse. Really good for those horrible, tickly coughs that keep you awake.

Cough is caused by a number of ailments.
It can be treated by over the counter medicines
or home remedies. More information available

I do know that Delsym is supposed to work for 8-12 hours.
Have you tried sleeping with a humidifier running?
Prop your head up on a pillow, too.

take come benadryl or chaomile tea and see if that helps you. I was the same way last week. if you have green stuff coming up or some stuff coming up then might want to call your doctor.

if you're coughing up green/yellow phlegm and have fever +/- chest pain,you have a chest infection,see your GP for antibiotics.If you have these and are short of breath,go to ED.
